Are you one of those people who like the bed to be completely free of extra pillows? Or do you like to have lots of pillows or stuffed toys all around you? When I was little, I didn't like all the fuss and fluff of extra pillows or stuffed toys in my bed - in fact, I didn't like stuffed toys at all!
......
But now I LOVE them! I love the quirky, adorable handmade type. I LOVE the adorable cuties in the Etsy store Koo And Poppet. The critters in Sarah's shop are just as cute as the name of her store!
Sarah had always wanted to start her own line of children's products, and had planned out to call it Koo. Then after her daughter was born, the father of one of her friends would affectionately call her daughter "Poppet" - and from there the name Koo And Poppet was born. This lovely little store is filled with handmade little friends with all sorts of character and quirk. Sarah creates everything from bunnies to bears, and also sews lovely personalized pillows and scarves.
Inspired by unique fabric, unconventionality and subtleties of character, Sarah meticulously creates each of her "misfit creatures" with great attention to detail. She is fascinated by the imagination of children, and tries to create characters that delve into that world of wonder and joy. Her favorite colors are yellow, pink and beige - and gets to see those colors in their prettiest forms from her lovely home city of Victoria, Canada - when the Cherry Blossom trees bloom in March. She also loves watching the seasons change, and the great sense of community in her town.
While I adore Sarah's favorite colors, the thing that I agree with her most on is her favorite dessert - Creme Brulee! Yummy! You can also find Sarah at her blog here.
Sarah is generously giving away the adorable Avril Bunny to one lucky reader. To enter, please leave a comment here telling me one word that you would use to describe Koo And Poppet, and also answer my question at the start of this post - how do you like to sleep (lots of pillows and fluffies, or none)? I will announce the winner on Sunday
(PS. Last call for Southern California Bloggers. If you are interested in attending the Blogger's Brunch January 3rd and haven't given me your email address yet, please leave it for me here).

one word: cutesy!!
i sleep with massive amounts of fluffy pillows!
One word... one word... okay I can't do one word but the collection makes me feel warm and homey :) I think it may be the colors!
I definitely like to start off with a bunch of pillows and my stuffed saint bernard, Bernard, but eventually I wake up with just one pillow under my head.
oh one word... cuttie! I don't like to sleep with a bunch of pillows but I adore to have them on the bed, so ... I have to take them out every night. and put them again in the morning! I adore that custom letter pillow!
Oh I love them, she is so creative! I love the softies, they are so cuddly and adorable!
one word? comfy!
I like to sleep with lots of pillows and a really warm blanket or two :)
One word to describe Koo & Poppet is: cuddlesome. I want to cuddle with all these stuffed creatures. They are so adorable.
I like sleeping with one pillow and sometimes that even gets knocked out of bed. I'm an extremely wild sleeper, so I can't have too many things in bed with me while I sleep. I usually kick anything that's in my way while I'm sleeping. LOL!
I want all of these pillows. Actually, my cat would REALLY want them!
One word....nostalgic. I always have and always will sleep with a bed full of stuffed animals.
what an adorable bunny! and that is the word I would use for Koo and Poppet- adorable! except that is pretty obvious so how about huggable! that works too :)
and I'm so jealous that Sarah lives in Victoria! it is such a beautiful city. I visited in September for a wedding and I didn't want to leave!
as for how I like to sleep, I love lots of pillows, depending on the fluffiness of them, of course. and I can't sleep without a blanket, even in the summer. I have to have the blanket up to my nose!
oh, and I have ALWAYS loved stuffed animals! always!
One word: artistically childish....uh-oh, that's two words.
I love to sleep with my blankie - I had one as a child and now I have one as a grown up. It's soft and cozy and I sleep with it up near my face.
Great post!

One word?
Quirky!
They are gorgeous - love them.
one word: Darling!
And I sleep with a pillow for my head and one on either side of me (i like to flip flop) :)
I love Sarah's shop. I went to high School with her, and am so proud of this venture she is taking after having her daughter. We both have little ones so I am always so happy for creative ways that mom's can stay-at-home and do something they truly love to do as well!
One word: Kooky
I sleep with just one pillow, can't handle lots of pillows, a hot water bottle and....my husband....
One word: huggable.
I sleep with four pillows on my bed (I really need a man lol).

One word: Cozy!
When I was little I didn't sleep with stuffed animals either. I used to go to sleep cuddling my books (I think this may be where the whole librarian thing started) and would wake up in the morning with book imprints on my face. Now I like to sleep with Alex (of course!), one pillow under my head, and one pillow on my right side (Alex is on the left) which I usually end up wrapped around by morning.
Koo and Poppet is awesome and I would love to be the lucky owner of Avril.
one word? Hmm... wow!
lol, that's a word, right? I had hard time choosing between "Wow!" or "Aww" hmm...
and ah, I sleep okay with no pillow, but I always need my comforter/bed cover, haha...
One word: Cute!
I prefer sleeping with one pillow folded... i know, very weird...
Charming :)
And I love sleeping surrounded with pillows, I cannot sleep without hugging one :)
One word is very hard to come up with, but I do believe huggable works.
I have one pillow, and my huggable husband.
One word: Quirky!
I sleep with two pillows under my head...one body pillow on my left side, and my feet out of the duvet!! Hey, it works!

I have one pillow and my son's Mr. Rabbit that I use as a pillow when my son sleeps and doesn't see that. He would get angry on me. Bad Mum I am... but Mr. Rabbit is just perfect for my neck :)
the word that comes to my mind to describe "little friends" is HARMONIE.
so adorable....

oh...i am so shopping here form my little one to be...
i like to sleep with a pillow under my head, one under my arms, snugged up against my husband, with my dog between our feet.
and my one word to describe this fantastic children's line would be...snugalicious!
xoxo
Those stuffies are flufferocious! (y'know, fluffy + ferocious... did it have to be a "real" word?)
When I sleep alone I stuffy up the bed, but when my secret-internal-furnace-man/sprawler boyfriend is in bed I give the stuffies a comfy bed elsewhere and cling to whatever edges of bed he leaves for me, lol.
vaverine at yahoo dot com

I like just one pillow for me head...but to use my husband as a second "body" pillow!
sarsosariATgmailDOTcom
The first word that came into my mind was "adorable" followed quickly by "sweet" :D
I love to sleep with a pillow and several soft toys in the bed but hubby vetoed that when we got married, hee hee. Now it's the kids who sleep with hundreds of softies/plushies in their beds and usually multiple pillows too!
Funky!
I have to sleep with two pillows--I read myself to sleep, and like to be level with the mattress!
Unique (I love this store!)
Lots of pillows and I have 2 blankets around my head I cuddle up to.

Thanks for the chance!

Attractive - it's not just that their cute and quirky but they bring you in and make you want to touch them and feel them and hold them, they're not just something to look at but attract you to them.
How do I like to sleep? Generally I spend it wrestling the blankets from my husband. Tons and Tons of blankets to curl up under now that the weathers blessed cold. :)
perfectbluemoon@gmail[dot]com
one word...sweet
i sleep with at least 2 pillows..more if i can get my hands on them!
One word: Perplexed (I just think they look a bit dazed and confused...which adds to their adorable factor!!)
I like to sleep with just my pillow...and a snuggly cat or two (or four as it sometimes works out!!)
